Nizi Japanese Article

This article is written by a Nizi Japanese (as distinguished from Nazi). All this article is about Japan and Russia's invasion. Some ugly old photoes. Disgusting!!!!

(Chinese characters following): 现在还存在"新金州区"这样的计划或者说法吗?我好像从来也没听说过哦. 如果没有异议的话我先删掉了.欢迎到我的讨论页留言.--Mickeymousechen 10:33, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup request - Off By Forty Miles

I'm placing this clean here as this matter needs attention by someone with appropriate geographical references.

Lushun (Port Arthur) is about 40 miles from Dalian, The first paragraph is thus in error. The opening sentence should probably read that Lushun is administered as a district or sub-port of Dalian, which I believe I've seen somewhere in text, but the whole statement seems to be an akward way of interposing the free port (City) status onto the geography. Moreover, iirc, Dalian may be unique in the world in that both sides of the peninsula have useful deepwater harbors and are used that way. Any article covering the city should cover this fact. (See the landsat photo herein), albeit 80 plus nautical miles apart by boat or ship, but only a brief flight to Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In any event, this needs untangled by someone with better geographical references than I have, being concerned with the Russo-Japanese war. Sorry. Fabartus 22:59, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Golden Pebble Beach

This national resort area should have its own discussion.

I do not know enough to write the article but I do know that this area is protected from certain kinds of development, has a world-class 36 hole golf course, every August hosts some kind of festival or something similar, now has a really nice road leading there and is the terminus of the Dalian commuter railway. There are several luxury housing and hotel projects currently under construction. This area has some unique rock structures along the water's edge and has many areas where fossils are being dug up.

I am sure that there are many other important and fascinating facts and details that could be added by someone who is more familiar with it than I and I encourage someone to write an article and post some pictures. I do have a couple of suitable pictures that I can add if the article is written.

Thanks,

Hey, Are you really a tiger or just a couger trying to pass as one? --Manchurian Tiger 01:49, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Manchurian Tiger - How have you been? My wife told me that you posted here. You inspired my name. Any guesses as to who I am? Say hello to your wife and son for me. p.s. Take a look at Dalian on Google Earth. It is really cool. Maybe we could post a picture here. It is much better than the satellite photo posted here. - California Tiger 03:31, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hi buddy. I sure knew who you are right away when you first showed up here. I did some work on this article and contributed some pictures including that Lushun Train Station picture I took this spring. Have fun.--Manchurian Tiger 02:14, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of Name

Does anyone know why the name "Port Arthur" was originally given to the city/district? ~ Dpr 04:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Port Arthur was named after a British navy captain. He sailed his ship to the port after it was damaged during a conflict later 1800s. I don't quite remember the details but if I found more I'll post here.--Manchurian Tiger 02:39, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...though why did the Russians adopt such a name? --Dpr 22:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Transportation

Section seems kinda vague. E.g. the full list of international/domestic destinations by plane is available here, is it usual practise to include this information? http://www.dlairport.com/English/CityConnections.htm

More importantly, the 客轮 (translate as "ferry" rather than "oceanliner"? It doesn't travel on the open ocean; but the amenities on board are more like a cruise ship than a commuter ferry) probably deserves some more mention, seeing as it is a more unusual form of travel (especially international travel). Right now the cities served include Yantai, Tianjin, and Incheon (S. Korea). The Incheon ferry runs 3x/week, with the whole trip taking about 16 hours. Since it's about 60% less than a plane ticket, a lot of students from Korea coming for holiday/studying take the ferry instead of a plane. http://www.daking.com.cn/Article_Print.asp?ArticleID=3336
